"home"

heavens it breaks my heart that you don't feel at home! You deserve to be happy and settled and in the place that makes you happiest but i do understand why you can't have that for now! I am happy where I live and with my house - it could be a lot bigger and we need to do a lot of work on it but it is home as is the area I live! I have told my partner loads of times that even if we won the lottery and could buy a bigger house etc it would have to be very close by and I would much rather buy the house next door and create one big house as I have a lot of friends around here - or at least the friends that really matter!

For me it was always the place I live with my family. I have very strong relationship with my parents, so second home is my home town and my parents home.

I have lived in this City in Scotland all of my life , We moved into this house about 23 years ago , I have lived in the same are all of my almost 66 years , I love my home , i love my neighbours , you know one of them very well pal , Mo lives jut across the street from me , It is a really nice area and I am sure I will spend the rest of my days here xx

That is right there is no place like home. Home is a place where you can relax and feel comfortable. And don't half to worry about no one.

Oh yes I class where I live my Home and it is the first Place where I have really settled in many Years I love it here

Well i say you should try and talk your husband into moving back to your home if that is really where you want to be. I still live with my mom because i am only 16 but one day i hope to finally have a home out on a mountain rather than a house in the city.

I would say home is where my family and heart is. And its what we make of our home by fixing it up. Taking good care of it. That always makes me happy. My family lives about 1/2 hour away from me and they have all lived there for many years. Family is everything to me. Knowing I can just pop over to see them is so nice. Life is good.

Hi heavenschild, It saddens me to hear this, but I understand where you're coming from. I do so hope and pray, that you can find a suitable apartment very soon, and certainly that you'll be moved before the end of another year. It's wonderful that you have your parents with you still, and that you can at least escape there, several times a year. The only thing is, if you were able to move back to where you call home, you'd be leaving a lot of other people behind, and you would be missed. I do consider where I'm living home, and by this I mean both the townhouse, and the city. When my husband was still living, we were in a townhouse, but we didn't really find it suited our needs, and so were looking to move. My roots are actually in northern Ontario, but I don't consider that home anymore. I guess the little house I grew up in, and the small village, would be a place that I've considered home. I'm also attached to a town just north of there, where my sister and her family live, and consider that to be my second home. Love, and hugs to you.

I am so sorry to know of your situation and will be praying for you. I know what it feels like to be home sick, as I have been moving all of my life. I am living at home right now. But it is not an ideal situation. I live in a board and care, but hope to be getting my own apartment soon. God bless you and keep you in his care.

I am definitely not "home" here! I don't like living in New Jersey at all. I have lived in Michigan where I was born and lived until I graduated high school. Then I moved to Ohio for a few years while my ex was stationed there. We moved to Mississippi in 1999 and I lived there until November of 2005. Now I live in New Jersey. Home to me is where my family is. It is where I am most comfortable. Home for me is in Mississippi. I go back as often as I can which is several times a year. I am hoping to go home for good one day.

I do not consdier where I currently reside as 'home' at all! I recently moved countries and am staying in a flatlet on my brother's property while I look for a house of my own. I don't mind the new country so much as travel and change has always been exciting for me but staying where I am is horrible. My 'home' is always a place of tranquility where everyone is welcome and there is always enough food for all who arrive. Where I currently stay there is constant bickering and nastiness between the adults and people hardly ever come visit. I'm so praying that I find my own house soon so that I can feel at 'home' again.

home is where your most relaxed at to me , and where there is no drama what so ever , i know where iam now is not home , yeah home is where the heart is..i know now thats true , but i dont want to be where i am now i thought this home now is where ill be forever and ever so on & so on

For me, there is a difference between a house and a home. It is easy to build or to have a house but very difficult to build or to have a home. Home is where your heart is. I think you have heard it a lot of times already but it is true. It could be a small apartment or a big mansion, it doesn't matter. If that place is where the most important people in your life are, then it deserves to be called a home. For others, their home is not only if the people they love are there. It is also where the things and the memories that they value more are present. There are so many things that one has to consider for a place to be called home. But it is a personal thing. We cannot really impose or give guidelines on what constitutes a home.

To me home is where the heart is. I raised three children. We were houseless for about five months. I didn't let them say homeless because we were together. Living in the woods, in tents. We made that woods our home. I would tell one of my boys to 'vacuum' and they would grab the lawnmower. The other one would grab the rake for his broom. I tried to keep life as normal as I could in a very un-normal situation. Home, like life, is what you make it. Where is your heart?

I live away from my parent's ever since I'm in high school and started living in an apartment. I moved a couple of times from place to another. But still I consider my parents's house as my only home. I grew up their, I had my childhood years spent in that small town. I made my first steps in that place and wherever I go, I still would want to go back there sometime and be with people that gave me life, my parents. My family, my siblings (except for my sister) are all there. We do have a farm and my two brothers put up their homes and families in that farm. So we all stay close when we're all there.

Yes, I agree there is no place like home. For me my parents' house here in the Philippines, where I grew up, will always be home. Even if I move or migrate to some far away place later on, this will always be home to me and I will always strive to return. I hope they never sell this house.

The sweet confines of your abode provide you amply with the soothing comfort you need. The household to which you belong to is like heaven amidst shortcomings.

There's a saying, 'home is where the heart is', and I guess for the most part I have always felt that. I've moved around quite a bit since I was young, and 3 years ago I made the biggest move, 1600 miles. I never really felt the house I lived in was 'home', it was where I lived, it was a physical address. Don't get me wrong, I always decorated and made it 'my' place. I did always feel that Texas was my 'home' state, living there for all of my life until 3 years ago. But, now I live in another state and it is my home, it's where my s/o as lived all of his life. Am I happy here, yes. He is condidering us moving south in a year or two, to warmer climate, less snow,lol. And that will be fine with me. I would love to be back down south and a little closer to family that still lives in Texas.

I do think there is a difference between where you live and where you feel most at home. I moved home last year and it took more than six months for my new apartment to feel like 'home' to me. Now it does, and I feel at home in my new location. But I would still refer to the place where I was born and lived as a child as "my home town". I have moved many times since leaving the county where I was born and when I was living and working in London people often asked me if I was going home for the holidays or would I be home for Christmas. As the only home I had was where I lived in London I could only say I would be "at home".

It's been almost ten years since i have left 'home', i have lived in university campus most of this time and i intend to for the next 5 years. I didn't leave home because of some misunderstanding but because of my career, though i occasionally go 'home' sometimes it's only for a day or two. I'm now more accostomed to university life, it's my 'home' now.
